A member asked:

If you are an adult and have had the kenalog (triamcinolone) shot for being allergic to kittens and now kittens are cats does that mean allergy is gone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kenalog (triamcinolone) old rx 4 cat: Kenalog (triamcinolone) is an injectable steroid that can suppress allergy symptoms but does nothing to alter allergic sensitization and can cause significant short and long term steroid side effects esp. If used repeatedly. Due to better, safer therapies injectable and oral steroids are used much less than in the past. Cat allergy is cat allergy, but symptoms can change with time & in some kittens worse vs cat.
